Please follow my directions explicitly as you create your wiki. It is very important that you create a k-12 Education wiki that is "protected." Also, one of your first acts should be to send me your code of conduct, your username, and your password.
Create a New Wiki
When you log in, use the Create a New Wiki link to create a new wiki. Name it [yourname]_english10. This will be your wiki--nobody else's, so don't let other people become members. Only you are to write to this wiki.
About You
On your opening page, I do not want much information about you. As a matter of fact, I want as little as possible. For instance, nowhere on this wiki should your last name appear. Also, when you start working in groups, use only first names.
On this first page, describe your community. Michiana, Mishawaka, Osceola, or Granger. Please refrain from writing things that make people from other places mad at you. Instead, keep it rather generic. What is our industry like here? What do people do, day to day, on the weekends? Why do people live here? Also, you may write about the school, but keep that pretty general as well.
Creating a New Page
Use the "New Page" link to create a new page. Call it My_Writing. Use an underscore instead of a space to make it easier for browsers. On that page, write a brief intro about your writing in this class and others. Using the bullet list option, write the following:
Personal Writing (Journals, Poetry, etc.
Articles
Comparison Essay
Problem Solution Essay
Research Project
Scripts
Planning
This is not a complete list, but it is a start. Now save the page.
Navigation
There are two ways to change the navigation of your website. First, when you create a new page (such as Problem-Solution Essay), you create a new page in your wiki. That page then gets listed in the links on the left-hand side of your page. That is the page list. The links are automatic.
You can also add links by clicking on "edit navigation" just below the links. When you click there, you will see a blue box called "Page List." Move your cursor to below it, and then type in Mr. McNulty's Class. Then, hit the link icon and in the link space, type: https://english-10.wikispaces.com
Hit save and notice the changes on the left.
For your newest link, I would like you and your group to create a wiki for your Chocolate War project. That means one of your members will work on that wiki. Don't make it the person who is doing all of the production work; rather, let a person volunteer to host the wiki. This person might not have as much to do with the production.
On that wiki, I would like you to create the following pages:
Home (well, that was already created for you when you created the wiki)
